While many early risers prepared to head to the polls on Election Day a local man was drawing police attention to the Walmart Neighborhood Market in Vacaville — and not in a good way.

Seems that, around 7 a.m., a man later identified as Anthony Bryant, 19, of Vacaville, reportedly stole items from the store, at Elmira at Nut Tree roads.

“When he was confronted by staff, Bryant displayed a metal object believed to be a knife in a threatening manner,” wrote police on the department’s Facebook page. “Bryant ran from the store on foot and was later located by an officer and detained in a nearby neighborhood.”

He was later arrested.

Meanwhile, K-9 Russell and his partner, Officer Chris Hill, found stolen property and articles of clothing apparently discarded by Bryant when he ran.

Bryant was subsequently booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of robbery and on a warrant out of Napa County citing theft.
